#210 - FAME

Updated: Aug 5, 2022

In the television series FAME, Lydia Grant (played by actress, dancer, choreographer, director, producer, and more Debbie Allen) taught dance at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts...which by the way is a REAL school. Miss Grant was tough, no-nonsense and demanded lots of sweat from her best students. Today's cosplay is dedicated to Ms. Allen and her role in this series.

Fame is a 1980 American teen musical film directed by Alan Parker. Set in New York City, it chronicles the lives and hardships of students attending the High School of Performing Arts (known today as Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School), from their auditions to their freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years.

♫ Baby, look at me and tell me what you see ♫

♫ You ain't seen the best of me yet ♫

♫ Give me time, I'll make you forget the rest ♫

♫ I got more in me and you can set it free ♫

♫ I can catch the moon in my hand...♫

♫ Don't you know who I am? ♫

♫ Remember my name...FAAAAAAAME!!! ♫

— Irene Cara, FAME theme song.



"Fame can be magical to whoever acquires it. However, as with most things, magic can be good or bad. The magic that you spin is completely up to you!" — M. D. Brock, producer/actress/writer


VIBE:



♫ Baby, hold me tight, 'cause you can make it right ♫

♫ You can shoot me straight to the top ♫

♫ Give me love and take all I got to give ♫

♫ Baby I'll be tough, too much is not enough, no ♫

♫ I can ride your heart 'til it breaks ♫

♫ Oh, I got what it takes...FAAAAAAAME!!! ♫
